BRUNSWICK — Big Brothers Big Sisters of Bath/Brunswick is recruiting golfers for the annual Big Swing Golf Tournament to be held on Sept. 16 at Brunswick Golf Club.
Teams of four will enjoy 18 holes with cart, contests, lunch, awards, and prizes.
Registration is $500 for a team (foursome). A team can also sponsor a hole sign to be displayed on the course for an additional $100. This is a $100 sponsor savings, as a hole-sign typically costs $200.
The hole-in-one prize is a Pleasant Holidays Golf Getaway, valued at $10,000 courtesy of AAA of Northern New England’s Brunswick Branch. The winner chooses the getaway package from a multitude of options.
Funds raised from The Big Swing help support and maintain one-to-one mentoring relationships between youth facing adversity and older student/adult volunteers, increasing each child’s chances for success. The average cost to support one Big and Little match for a year is $1,000.
This year BBBS has served 224 children through the Community-Based program, 15 School-Based programs and a Site-Based program in partnership with Bowdoin College. There are currently 16 children waiting for the right match with an adult Big in the Community Based program, and 35 new volunteers need to be recruited to serve the area schools this fall.
As a non-profit organization that does not receive state or federal funding, BBBS relies on its community supporters to continue vital services for children.
